Out-Of-Class #3: No Time For Fatals ...

... yet we had a bunch.

In one story, inside of a quote we spelled significant as significate. A misspelling inside of a quote that changes what was uttered is an automatic fatal.

In another story's quote, we wrote go when we meant gone. That again is a fatal. 

In yet another story's quote, we said, "there will students ..." when I think you meant, "there will be students ..." Dropping that word is a fatal.

In another story, we wrote that a teacher was walking down the isles, when we meant aisles. There is a difference that changes the meaning here; an aisle is a walkway, while isles are groups of islands. That's a fatal.

In another story, we identified a police sergeant as being with the Lansing Police Department. In fact, she was with the MSU Police Department.

Now, what are the solutions? You know 'em. We've gone over those time and time again. We need to be implementing those solutions, and never skipping a single step.

And that's no matter how well you've done to date. One person who fataled has been downright brilliant in this class sofar, and this person still fataled on something simple like a spelling.

One more time: avoiding fatals has nothing to do with talent; just vigilance.
